A number of years ago, a friend of my parents was mugged in NYC and rather than give up his wallet, he tried to fight the mugger and was stabbed to death. You never know what the outcome of being a hero will turn out to be. You are still alive, and from your little story here, I assume you were not harmed and only lost some material items. I would say you were very lucky. There is a reason that bank tellers are instructed to cooperate with bank robbers. Money and material items can be replaced. Human lives cannot be.
